Just seen in Pumpkin Plays video (0.10.4):
After completing the initial quest goal (Giant Killing) she found a captive NPC in the dungeon, that she accepted to bring back home.
However she decided to turn in the quest first, which made the salvaged NPC immediately disappear.

I didn't see any mention of this issue in the UESP, for what it's worth.

When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

The quest plays differently in classic Daggerfall though...
Either the NPC face keeps the quest running, or the quest is written slightly differently... it has been edited several times, maybe something got lost in translation
